In a recent interview, Monsters and Critics caught up with Sam Witwer, who plays the role of vampire Aiden and shared a few interesting things about season three as well as some insights about his continuing involvement with the Star Wars universe.



... Monsters &Critics: In the last series [season] your character was in a bit of a messed up place having lost the love of your undead life and winding up getting buried alive...


Sam Witwer: "Before you go further with that question. I’d like to bring something up that’s kind of interesting. It was not... You know as much as there was love there and there was a relationship there and it meant a great deal to Aiden. That was not what you would call... And I say this for specific reasons for what we see in the season.

That wasn’t who we would call the love of his life. In fact we knew that going in. You can’t end the second season of the show and introduce the love of someone’s life because it doesn’t leave you much place to go for any women you might want to meet later on in the series.

What we were intending to do was to show kind of a bad relationship. You know what happens when there’s that girl you wanted to date in High School and you never got to date her, but then you’re in your 20s and you finally get to date her, but it’s not quite what you thought it might be. And you are fighting and you know... You’re having sex, but you’re fighting, but you’re not fighting when you’re having sex. When you’re not having sex you're fighting. It’s just this very turbulent relationship that brings out the worst in you. And that was really the direction that we took that relationship in..."

Being Human season three premieres Monday, January 14 at 9/8C on Syfy.

Being Human season three cast includes Sam Witwer, Meaghan Rath, Sam Huntington and Kristen Hager.
